BERLIN (AFP) – Nana Mouskouri likes to email with fellow music legends but complains that Bob Dylan is a poor cyber-penpal in a German magazine interview published Wednesday.

The 74-year-old Greek star said she and Leonard Cohen fire quick little notes at each other constantly from their computers and complimented Quincy Jones as another loyal electronic correspondent.

"I love emails," she told Bunte magazine. "But it is pretty tough with Bob Dylan, he writes so rarely" although he once described her as his favourite female singer.

"The same goes for Harry Belafonte," with whom she recorded a number of songs and went on a world tour in the 1960s.

"They must be very busy," she said, adding that she was "no cybergirl" but knew her way around a computer.

The bespectacled songstress bid adieu to a half-century in music with a farewell concert at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens in July.

Born on the island of Crete, Mouskouri has sold more than 300 million records -- not only in Greek but also in French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Hebrew and Japanese, her record company Universal says.
